Is it possible to cut all inner labia, without keeping it at all?

The question is whether it's acceptable to trim and reduce the size of the labia minora. I choose not to perform such surgery unless necessary, as the normal anatomical structure involves the labia minora covering the vaginal opening to maintain pH balance, prevent dryness, and reduce infection risks. While some women may have enlarged labia minora due to genetics or delivery trauma, complete removal is not the correct solution. In such cases, I aim for a balanced, aesthetically pleasing reduction, ensuring the preservation of genital health for my patients. You can take a look at some of our cases on our website. Best of luck to you!

Hello,
Thank you for your question. It's important to understand the role and function of the inner labia (labia minora) when considering labiaplasty.
The inner labia play a role in protecting the vaginal and urethral openings, and they also contribute to sexual sensation and comfort. Deeply complete removal of the inner labia is not a standard practice, as it can lead to complications like dryness, recurrent infections and impact the functional aspects of the genital area.
However, in labiaplasty, the focus is typically on reshaping and reducing excess tissue to address issues like discomfort, irritation, or asymmetry. The goal is to create a balanced appearance while maintaining the natural functionality and protective aspects of the labia.
In your case, we would need to assess the extent of tissue present and discuss your aesthetic and functional goals. It's crucial to find a balance that addresses your concerns while ensuring your overall health and well-being.
My priority is to provide with safe, effective care that aligns with your expectations and health considerations.
Best regards,
Dr. Mehmet Bekir SENGenital Aesthetic Surgeon"
